    I don't quite understand MUA's general dislike of this powder, but here are my views regardless. First of all, it's sort of one of those products that are overpriced and overhyped for the price...

    *UPDATE* By "shimmery" I mean VERY tiny particles that catch the light, it's not like chunky glitter like a lot of highlighters have. Some of these powders like Luminous, Incandescent (from...

    I purchased the diffused light after reading a ton of reviews and praises about this stuff. I was less than impressed. For a $50+ highlighter it really made my face look flat and matte. Maybe I'll...

    Never liked powders, because they age you. They emphasize lines and dryness. I reluctantly became interested in this product because of the HUGE hype. I should have known better. It ages me. ...
